Dental Endodontic Finger Spreaders – Root Canal Gutta-Percha Spreader Set

Dental Endodontic Spreaders, commonly known as Finger Spreaders, are precision hand instruments used during root canal obturation to perform lateral condensation of gutta-percha. The spreader has a tapered working section with a pointed tip. During lateral condensation, it is inserted alongside the master gutta-percha point to compact the filling material laterally against the root canal walls and create space for the placement of accessory gutta-percha points. MANI describes this as the standard clinical function of finger spreaders. Finger spreaders are available in multiple ISO sizes so the clinician can select an appropriate instrument according to the prepared canal. Common stainless-steel sets contain six colour-coded instruments in sizes #15, #20, #25, #30, #35 and #40.
